Adults 18 and older with resectable Stages II to IIIB NSCLC who have had surgery but did not achieve a complete pathological response may be eligible to participate.
Participate in resectable lung cancer clinical trials in Oklahoma City, OK, and explore potential new treatment options.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer and develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the lungs. Early stages may not cause noticeable symptoms, but as the disease progresses, people may experience a persistent cough, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort. Treatment often includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapies, depending on the stage and overall health of the patient.
Resectable NSCLC refers to lung cancer that can be removed through surgery. However, some patients do not achieve a pathological complete response, meaning cancer cells are still found in the tissue after surgery. These patients may benefit from our resectable lung cancer clinical trials, which aim to improve outcomes and lower the risk of the cancer returning.

This resectable Stage II to IIIB lung cancer clinical trial investigates whether adding a study drug after surgery can benefit patients who did not achieve a complete pathological response.
Participants will receive either the study drug combined with standard treatment or standard treatment alone. The study will track progress to understand which approach provides better benefits.
Researchers will closely monitor disease-free survival to evaluate how well each treatment works. This study helps identify potential new treatment options for resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and aims to improve long-term outcomes for patients.
If you decide to participate, you’ll begin by reviewing and signing an Informed Consent Form that outlines the study in clear detail. Our research team will walk you through each step, answer your questions, and help you feel confident about your choice to join or withdraw whenever you wish.
Throughout the study, experienced physicians will closely monitor your health through regular exams and evaluations. Your participation may contribute to advancing future treatment options for people with resectable Stage II to IIIB lung cancer.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can cause a range of symptoms, though some people may not notice any early signs. Common symptoms include:
Early detection can be challenging since NSCLC may not always show symptoms in its initial stages.
Adults 18 and older with resectable Stages II to IIIB NSCLC who have had surgery but did not achieve a complete pathological response may be eligible to participate.
To see if adding a study drug after surgery improves outcomes compared to standard treatment alone.
Participants receive the study drug with standard care or standard care alone, with regular health monitoring by physicians throughout the study.
